Jeff Bridges Becomes Latest Celebrity To Defend Trump

0Shares

Jeff Bridges has a long, steady film career that spans four decades where he has played anyone from a burn-out liberal hippie to the President of the United States.

And Bridges just joined a select group of celebrities who’ve ignored the other Hollywood elites’ sentiments and defended President Trump recently.

Legendary musician Sammy Hagar recently told Rolling Stone in an interview that the liberal anti-Trump opposition is so crazy that they don’t give Trump a chance.

The liberal opposition is rooting for President Trump to fail because they have a superiority complex.

It’s also selfish because if President Trump fails, then America fails.

And liberals would arrogantly say, “see, I told you so.”

But that isn’t going to happen, and Jeff Bridges echoed the same sentiment about rooting for President Trump’s success.

Breitbart reports:

Jeff Bridges played a president in ‘The Contender,’ a political flick released nearly two decades ago in the wake of President Bill Clinton’s White House scandals.

But when it comes to critiquing the role of today’s real-life president, Bridges is a lot more laid back than some of his fellow celebrities.

How would The Dude, the character he played in ‘The Big Lebowski,’ handle things?

He likely wouldn’t be dangling a severed head in the likeness of President Donald Trump, as comedian Kathy Griffin came under fire for.

Neither would The Dude joke about killing the president as Johnny Depp recently did. Griffin and Depp later apologized.

“Everybody has something different and unique to contribute to society and with different ways of doing it,” Bridges said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press, after taking part on a panel focused on child hunger at a meeting of the Western Governors Association in Whitefish, Montana.

“Some people will be blatantly out there talking about their disappointments and ridiculing the way President Trump is acting,” said Bridges, who supported Hillary Clinton in last year’s election.

“I’m rooting for him to do well by our country,” he said.

“I’m rooting for him as a human being to do the cool thing,” Bridges said, as he pivoted back to his work against childhood hunger.

Bridges said he is especially concerned about proposed cuts to federal food assistance programs, which he said could harm the well-being of more children.

The actor has been an ambassador for the ‘No Kid Hungry’ campaign, a national effort to address food insecurity among struggling families.

He founded the End Hunger Network in 1983 and became the national spokesman for No Kid Hungry in 2010.

Bridges splits his time between homes in Southern California and Montana.

He has helped Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and the state’s first lady, Lisa Bullock, on expanding school breakfast programs.

“The health of our children is a wonderful compass that can tell us if our country is going the right direction,” he said.

“That means we’re off course, so I’m rooting for the president to get on course.”

It’s understandable for celebrities to pivot away from politics when asked about them because the smart ones understand that perpetuating a political agenda will alienate some fans.

But we can all agree that America was off course under the Obama administration and Trump needs to get us back on course.

It is one thing to want and wish for a president to do well, but come on Bridges, we are not talking about a sane human being, we are talking about a bloviated profoundly ignorant man with a comprehensive level of a 3 year old.
